To securely connect your OneIQ Pulse data colllector to OneIQ servers, a certain level of SSL/TLS is required.
When an SSL/TLS secure channel cannot be created, the following error is displayed in OneIQ Pulse:
If you run into this error and are using Windows Server 2012 R2, you may have the minimum SSL/TLS requirements required, but it may not be enabled by default.
To enable TLS 1.2, run PowerShell as an administrator (right-click on the Windows PowerShell search result, and then click on "Run as administrator") and execute the following commands:
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v2.0.50727' -Name 'SchUseStrongCrypto' -Value '1' -Type DWord
Set-ItemProperty -Path 'HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NetFramework\v2.0.50727' -Name 'SystemDefaultTlsVersions' -Value '1' -Type Dword
